Do people just, not like to think when they read!?

Sure, media analysis didn't fully click for me until halfway through high school, but when it happened, it felt like rediscovering all of the games, art, music, and movies I loved all over again.

Metamorphosis was one of the first books I feel I truly read and understood. Its also one of the precious few books I read in school that I'd ever actually want to read again.

I will not hear it insulted by some dipshit who's central complaint with the novel is that it...doesn't have a concrete magic system?

goodreads reviewers aren't human
